Greek club Panathinaikos has added Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma to its transfer shortlist as it seeks to strengthen its midfield options for the upcoming season.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media reports, notes that the Athens-based side is evaluating several alternatives for the center of the pitch, with the Malian international emerging as a primary candidate for the transfer.
The 29-year-old midfielder has been with the London club since 2022, following a 29.2 million euro move from Brighton. However, having started only two matches in the current campaign, Bissouma appears to have fallen out of favor in Tottenham's long-term tactical plans. With his contract set to expire next summer, the English club may be forced to consider selling the player at a lower valuation to avoid a free agency departure. Currently, Transfermarkt values the midfielder at 15 million euros, though reports suggest Tottenham has set a price range between 15 and 25 million euros for the summer of 2025.
Bissouma, who has earned 46 caps and scored 5 goals for the Mali national team, is also reportedly a target for Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray. Panathinaikos, one of the most decorated clubs in Greece, is looking to leverage its position in European football to attract high-profile talent like Bissouma to bolster its domestic and continental ambitions. A final decision regarding the player's future is expected in the coming months as competition in the transfer market intensifies.
